Last night I tried that and downloaded build 640 beta hoping that would be better but I had the same issue. Sitting there scanning the computer and finding nothing I tried 640 again later and it magically worked but at this point I won’t be surprised if tonight it doesn’t. While I had CM 640 not responding I once again open and used CC, fusion, Carveco etc with no issues
In my experience on support, random issues on new Windows computers always come down to Windows downloading updates in the background.
Shutting down, restarting, &c. usually fixes it.
That has been what I have found in the past with windows. I personally am not a fan of windows at all. I have restarted each time this has happened in hopes it would help without having much luck unfortunately. I’m just still puzzled as to why just this one single program is having issues
I was a Field Engineer, System Support Engineer, Certified Solaris Systems Administrator and A+ certifications for both PC and MAC for 45+ years. So I have a lot of experience troubleshooting software issues. This problem seems to be intermittent but is also isolated to your machine. If this was a wide spread issue it would be reported all over the forum. When you have an isolated issue like yours it is something in your environment. There are several million variations of hardware, software, versions and drivers. It could any one of those combinations or combinations of hardware and software that is not duplicated any where else. I know it is frustrating when you are having the problem but from your descriptions your issue is pretty much isolated to your system and setup. Others may have had similar issues but it does not seem to be wide spread. That makes your problem even more frustrating.
I have worked on Unix, Linux, MAC OS, Windows and several others so I have a wide ranging perspective on isolating problems and finding solutions. So if your system has worked correctly in the past then go back to the last change you made to your system. That could be updating an unrelated driver, updated OS patches or a new piece of hardware added which would have added new software and drivers. Peel back the changes you might have made until things start working again. You might not have added anything but Windows is always updating in the background so maybe unapply some of the recent Windows changes

Thank for the insight. I definitely agree that it seems like it is isolated to me for the most part. I just made one unrelated driver update a moment ago before you posted this and am restarting the system. I’m hopeful but we’ll see. As far as any added hardware or anything there is nothing I have added recently in the time everything was working perfectly to having this issue. The only thing would be a windows update. I’m slowly going through it all to the best of my knowledge to get it sorted
To keep Microsnort from putting a booger in my process i shut off all updates. when i am not making shavings i go in and run all of the updates that are waiting. When updates are completed i restart my pc so they are done. when i then run my cnc the wifi is shut off so it cant take any new updates.

So I spent the morning scanning the computer and putting it through different recovery modes and prior windows update restorations. About 3 different tries and nothing seemed to help the situation with CM. I finally just backed up my files to an external drive and did a full reset. This seems to have done the trick, CM is responsive once again so far without lagging or freezing
Wow I know that is quite painful to do. The time to do a backup, and restore the OS and then restore the backup is something I hate to do. Sometimes it is the only way to get through.
Glad to know you are back working. Windows is the most defective product that is in such wide use. I have been using Windows since 2 and it has given me hell all the way. Before it was DOS but I had respite during the time I worked at Sun Microsystems. We only ran Solaris on our laptops and work computers and did not have to deal with Windows. When Oracle bought Sun I had to go to Linux with virtual OS of Solaris and Windows. I am currently on a laptop with Windows 11 and it is ok but there are so many things trying to attack my machine all the time it is only a matter of time until something gets through security and wrecks me. The bad guys only have to win once but I have to win every time.

I haven’t done much work in Win 10 or 11 versions, but, can you not turn off Automatic Updates? That could possibly eliminate the interference.
From what I have done on this new little lalptop of mine I feel they tried to update Windows Vista to a new level. I much preferred Win 7 Pro but times are changing!
